word document locked and not linking
A form has been created in MS Word and there is a link for people to view an
example of how to complete the form. Once the form was set to be protected the form works but the link does not work. What have I done wrong and how can I set the form to "protect" and the link to work? Much appreciated. |

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nksInForms.htm.
What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.

No sorry this did not help. The actual form is created in Word and posted on
the intranet as a word document. The padlock is switched on so that people filling in the form only have access to the field available for them. However, there is a link for people to select if they wish to view an example of how the form should be filled in and this link does not work once the padlock is switched on. Again I reiterate that this is not done in HTML but created and put up on our intranet as a word document which is locked. Can you help or does anyone else in your area can give me assistance.

I'm sorry, too. That is the only solution I know of if you want to use
hyperlinks and protected forms. You can put sample text in the form fields or even longer explanations. You can also put help text in the status line or available to the F1 key. Finally, you can format your instructions as hidden so they won't print. If your users have the view option turned on so they can see hidden text, you can give your instructions that way.

The latter articles get into userforms and other methods. They are far more flexible than online forms but also require vba knowledge.
